Answer:
520 loaves
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's find how many white loaves he baked.
Let's make a proportion.
white loaves/brown loaves= white loaves/brown loaves
He baked 3 white loaves for every 2 brown loaves. He baked x white loaves for 208 brown loaves.
3/2=x/208
Now, we have to solve for x. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 208. To reverse this, multiply both sides by 208
208*3/2=x/208*208
208*3/2=x
312=x
He baked 312 white loaves.
Now, we have to find the total number of loaves he baked.
To do this, add the brown loaves and the white loaves.
brown loaves+white loaves
He baked 208 brown loaves and 312 white loaves
208+312
520
He baked 520 loaves in total
